lol @ Man Utd performance.

I missed Rooney's sending off, watch it later tonight on Match of the Day.

I hope big Sir Alex fines the team for that nonsense today.

Before today I was going to change my fantasy league team that has Schwarzer, Konchesky and Murphy as I thought Man Utd would win. Sooooo glad I forgot, have Schwarzer as captain as well :D

Only problem is I have 3 Man Utd players in the team also :( - http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/eventhist.mc?id=654291

COME ON YOU SPURS!

Truly the one of the best performances I have seen in years from Spurs, looked composed, competent on the ball and hit with pace. Modric and Lennon were superb and Gomes is beginning to show the kind of form that made him a hero at PSV.

Waffer cup is well within the bounds of possibility! Who would have thought it!!!

Did pool a bit of a favour too - definitely mixed it up what with Fulham's win against the Manx.

What a win! Van Persie still could not score for god knows how many games in a row by now.

Great game, great penalty save by Almunia! But terrible moment for Gallas right after we went 1:0 up, let Martins equalize less than a minute later... :no:

Oh well, it's all good in the end.

Walcott is injured again!! :( 3-5 weeks.. can miss the rest of the season.. thats a blow we can't afford especially with Rosicky not returning as well..

Anyways.. just had a look at the league table and noticed there is a bit of the gap opening now between the relegation zone and rest of the league.. not big.. its just 2 points..

West Brom is doomed.. but Boro and New Castle might be able to do something able it yet.. Here are the remaining fixtures for both of them.. on paper it seems very interesting..

Middlesbrough:

Bolton(A)

Hull(H)

Fulham(H)

Arsenal(A)

Man U(H)

New Castle(A)

Villa(H)

West Ham(A)

New Castle:

Chelsea(H)

Stoke(A)

Spurs(H)

Portsmouth(H)

Liverpool(A)

Middlesbrough(H)

Fulham(H)

Villa(A)

Your thoughts?

From the lists you posted, it looks like both clubs have rather difficult fixtures coming up.

If I had to choose who could stay up, I would rather Boro stayed in the Premier League, simply because one of my old housemates is a Boro fan. Middlesborough don't fill out The Riverside well, but they do produce some good English talent, a rare characteristic of top flight teams. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Newcastle, but it would be rather amusing to see such a self proclaimed 'big club' get relegated.

There are still lots of clubs who could still get sucked into a relegation dog fight.

Ow man - just got back from the hospital after popping a lung laughing so much at the Mancs losing again ;)

So Rafas outburst in January has got to rosy nose Fergie then - what a day, just hope Pool can win tomorrow to close the lead and get to 2nd in the league.

Come on you pool, make the mancs crap themselves some more!!

Oooo I would laugh but it hurts so much :D

Got to say its going to be a nail biting end to the season - but the last couple of weeks have been brilliant for the Pool, they have finally started playing extremely well together.

To be honest, I have blasts from the past, they are playing like the Liverpool team of the 80s.

There is no clear winner for the league but I am happy as larry!

Shame that some Villa fans are leaving already, their team may be stuffed but at least they could try to raise them to the game - bad show I say!

Apart from that - gooooo ooooooooon Pooooooooooooooooooool!!

Harsh red card - but I am glad and fingers crossed for number 5!!

Harsh red card - aint that an understatement. Still, if we're gonna get thrashed, I'd rather it be by Liverpool than United (now go and win the bloody league, 'cause you aint getting Barry in the Summer :) )

LOL, was picturing him in a red shirt as well ;)

Lenon is firmly out of the picture as he signed a 2 year contract extension yesterday!!

I didn't know that (about Lenon) - he's a decent enough player, but yeah looks like Benetiz won't be able to spend some of his ?100m (According to the Mirror) on either Lenon or Barry (Fingers crossed - I would hope that he'll appreciate that, if we'd got a stronger squad, we coulda kept up the challenge for 4th).

He he he he :shifty:

They say.. class is permanent.. form is temporary!!

and Arsenal and Liverpool are just proving that and just at the right time :D

Thank you 'Pool!!! We are now safe in 4th place it seems :p

btw what a super 2 weeks its been for Liverpool! Confidence must be beyond the sky at Anfield.. 3 amazing wins + Rafa staying + Stevie G had the case against him dropped!!

5-0. Could be worse ;)

Rafa has 'definitely' cracked up now :cool:

I felt pretty sorry for Friedel when he got sent off. It was really harsh, but I suppose by the laws of the game he had to see red.

It was nice to see he got a standing ovation from both sets of supporters, it is just a shame he will be missing when you play Man Utd next.

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
